Scene One Richard Cory and wife are talking at the dinner table. Richard Cory-Everyone expects the best of me, I'm just scared to make the wrong move. Jeanna-I'm sure everything that you do will inspire this town. Don't worry so much about what others think. Richard Cory-It's not as easy as you think it is to just not care. Everytime I walk outside, all I hear is voices and ooh's and ahh's.
I mean, I'm just a regular human. What more can they want? Jeanna-Yes, and I accept you for who you are, not how much money you have or what you look like. Richard Cory- Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I really appriciate having you as such a wonderful wife. Richard gets up and leaves the dinner table.
Scene Two Richard takes a walk down an alley where no one was present. Paula-Oh my goodness, Just look at the way that man walks, so gracefully. Nick-Alright honey, I know he is an amazing figure in this town, but lets hurry along, supper is waiting. Nick grabs Paula's hand while she is trying to pull him away. Richard looks back at her and looks her in the eye. Richard Cory- I'm just like everybody else ma'm. Can't you tell? CAN'T ANYONE TELL? Richard runs off behind nearby shops.
Scene Three Richard runs along home as people are awaiting outside of their homes whispering and shouting out hellos. Richard Cory-Honey, I can't do this. How about we just leave all this. Lets go somewhere where I won't be followed or practically worshiped by all the others around us. I do love this town and the people here, but it's getting out of hand. Would that be ok for you? Jeanna looks down and looks back up at him with tears in her eyes. Jeanna- How can you just run away from all this? Don't let it go to your head. Aren't you glad that you are well liked around here. Aren't you glad that you are weathly and can help people that are in need? Don't you think of any positive things about yourself? Think about it Richard. There are many people out there like you. You aren't the only one. Richard Cory- Maybe being wealthy isn't the most important thing to me. I can still help people in need without all the money I have. It is a shame to even think that all your talking right now is what I can do with my money. Jeanna-That isn't what I mean Richard and you know that. Richard turns around and starts walking steadily up the stairs. He goes into his room and unlocks a safe with something burried inside of it. Richard examines his fine gun and places it up to his head. Richard Cory- Maybe people will be more amazed by this.
